Our church just finished a 21-day fast to kick off the year. We partnered with Awake 21 and hundreds of churches from around the world. It’s a great idea to get people fasting and praying but the partnership with other churches was a unique experience as we linked arms together. I am a little hesitant [...]

My song for Catalyst One Day
January 27, 2010
Yesterday I tried to win a free ticket to Catalyst One Day, an event in Chicago this March. Unfortunately I didn’t win but I did write a song for Scott Hodge expressing my desperation for the ticket. This is how it turned out.

Fighting The Mundane
May 26, 2009
